So, Larry, are you talking about un-/reinstalling cygwin entirely*? Also,
does cygwin dev monitor this chat in case this is a bug? If not, is there a
better place to report such an issue?
Couple of other points. In searching some of the error codes (eg. "command
not found" message), I also added "c:\cygwin\bin" to my PATH and created env
variable CYGWIN_HOME as "c:\cygwin". This stopped the "command not found"
message, though ls output was still empty.
Thanks.
*If so (ie. most likely the quickest path to resolution), I'm still a more
than happy customer, and cygwin is still in the 99.9999999% satisfaction
realm. Can't recall ever having an update issue like this before, but them's
the breaks with software! :)
